To all lw/tom t may concern:

Be it known that l, HENRY J. MnYnRs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California7 have invented new and useful AImprovements in Bed-Mount? ings, of which the following is a specification.

vopening into and from a closet and which is detachably secured upon its mounting so that it may be removed therefrom and moved to remote' parts of a room.

Another object of this invention is toprovide adjustable means incorporated Within the pivotal mounting whereby the bed may be raised and lowered in relation to. the door and may be held to swing over the floor Without bearing thereupon. y

A/finother object is to provide a bed of light construction Which is adapted to be folded into a small Space and which7 when unfolded, Will possess considerable strength.

Another object is to provide a special pivotal foot-board mounting Whic li 1nay be readily swung to its folded position and Which, When so swung, will act in a telescoping manner to allow the-bed to .pass through door openings of ordinary height.

A further object is to provide a bed and mounting of the above class which may lbe readily set up in its operative position and which requires no alteration of door casings or-otlier construction to allow it to be used.

Other objects will appearhereinafter.

The invention is illustrated in the aeeoinpanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation illustrating the pivot bed as in its unfolded position.

Fig. 2 is a view in horizontal section illustrating a closet and shoiving the bed folded therein. K

Fig. 3 is a vieiv similar to Fig. 2 and illustrates the bed in its outermost position after having been swung through thev closet opening.

.F 4l is a view in section and elevation as seen on the line t-i of Fig. and illustrates the bed construction. l

Fig. 5 is an enlarged View showing the This invention relates to a folding bed-v end of the side rails of the bed and the manner in Which the foot-board is pi'votally mounted thereupon and further showing in dotted lines an intermediate position of the 604 foot-board.

Fig. 6 is a view of "the hinge member by which the foot-board is pivoted and vis drawn on a reduced scale.

Fig. 7 is a view in horizontal section as l5 seen through one of the posts of the footboard on the line 7-7 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 8 is'a view of the pivotal mounting provided the bed.'

Fig. 9 is a View in diagram illustrating'70` the manner of positioning the bed Within l the closet of'greater depth than Width.

Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 9 illustrating the bed as in its outermost position.

Fig. 11 is a vlevf corresponding to the pre- 7'5 ceding View, illustrating the bed as detached from its mounting. y s 1 i Referring more particularly to the drawings, 10 indicates the head-board of a bed andv is here shown as being mounted upon 30 a suitable structural base the base 1.1 are formed of have arcuate slots 13 formed through them.

11.. The ends of The slots are described on an vare from thecenter of pivot. pins 14 to which links 15 85 are secured and the ends of which are pivotally secured to the plates adjacent the termination of the slots and at their lower ends. Pins 16 are suitably secured vto a point adjacent the ends of side rails 17 and 90 are guided through the slots 13 as the main frame of the bed is raised and lowered. In,l

order to facilitate in raising the bed and to 'partially .counterbalance'the Weight thereof as it is beinglowered, a series of coil springs 18 are secured by their one ends to a cross rail 19 of thebase and by their other ends `to a cross rail secured upon the'bed frame at a point in the rear of the ful'crum pins 14, thereby producing a 'partial counter- 100 balance of the bed frame and the .clothing thereon. The opposite ends of the bed rails are fitted with specially formed hingesv which each have one straight leaf 20 secured to the frame and a movable leaf 21 105 pivoted thereto. The movable leaf 21 is of peculiar configuration in that it is formed with an internal doVe-tail'slot 22 throughout its length adapted to be swung into register with a similar dove-tail portion 23 secured 110 to the end of the frame. These dove-tail slots are adapted to be engaged.D by doveplates 12 which
